Operated by Westport Bike Shop · Westport, County Mayo
Situated in County Mayo on Ireland’s rugged west coast, Westport is a lively town that acts as the gateway to some of the country’s most dramatic coastal scenery. At Newport Road, Carrowbeg, Westport Bike Shop offers an eight-hour bike hire that invites riders to cover a stretch of the Great Western Greenway and Wild Atlantic Way. This route holds a special place in the local outdoor landscape as it is the longest off-road greenway in Ireland, following an old railway line from Westport to Achill Island.
The Greenway carves its way through a striking variety of terrain, from windswept beaches to rolling hills framed by Atlantic views. Cycling this route provides a unique vantage point over geographical highlights like Clew Bay’s dotted drumlins—small, rounded hills created during the last Ice Age—and dramatic mountain silhouettes including Croagh Patrick, a peak revered both for its natural beauty and historical pilgrimage significance.
Westport Bike Shop’s one-day hire package is designed for riders eager to dive deep into this landscape at a manageable pace, ideal for solo travelers or groups. Bikes come equipped with locks, helmets, and optional panniers, paired with detailed maps to guide visitors safely along the largely flat, well-maintained path that stretches some 42 kilometers. The shop’s location on Newport Road makes it an easy start and end point, with free parking and accessible facilities.
Along the way, towns like Newport and Mulranny offer delicious touches of local culture and cuisine, perfect for midday breaks. The option to bike all the way to Achill Island enhances the adventure with stunning Atlantic vistas and a chance to immerse yourself in Mayo’s coastal charm. Westport Bike Shop is more than a rental; it’s a doorway to active discovery of an area where natural history, Irish heritage, and the call of the outdoors converge.
